Cognition and the Brain: The Philosophy and Neuroscience Movement
This volume provides an up to date and comprehensive overview of the philosophy and neuroscience movement, which applies the methods of neuroscience to traditional philosophical problems and uses philosophical methods to illuminate issues in neuroscience. At the heart of the movement is the conviction that basic questions about human cognition, many of which have been studied for millennia, can be answered only by a philosophically sophisticated grasp of neuroscience's insights into the processing of information by the human brain.
Modern Econometric Analysis: Surveys on Recent Developments

Specific branches which require specific methods have been established.

Recent Progress in Coupled Cluster Methods: Theory and Applications
The coupled cluster method represents one of the most successful and often used approaches to a quantum-theoretical determination of atomic, molecular, and solid state electronic structure and properties. These methods are relevant to a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from astrophysics to pharmacology.
Original, effective approach teaches by explaining worked examples in detail. "Every step in the mathematical process is explained, its purpose and necessity made clear ... the reader not only has no difficulty in following the rigorous proofs, but even turns to them with eager expectation.
